Chapter 763
Sasha, Blake, and Arielle’s subordinates stayed in that town.
That was a small village, so the arrival of strangers would attract the villagers’ attention.
Whenever Arielle’s subordinate headed to the town, he would always disguise himself as a businessman to hide his identity.
As soon as they met, Blake began to start chattering. “Boss, the roads in that village are bumpy and uneven. Moreover, there are buildings collapsing from time to time. Many villagers do not dare to stay inside their houses, so they build their tents outdoor.(This novel will be daily updtaed The structures of those houses will definitely kill someone in the future.”
Arielle’s subordinate, Rube, shook his head vigorously. “No. That had already killed someone in the past. From what I know, an elderly and her daughter got killed when their house collapsed. They went to ask for explanations from Mrs. Southall, but she evaded the responsibility by saying that it was an accident. She only paid part of the funeral fees as compensation.”
Blake widened her eyes as she spat, “They are so cunning and despicable!”
Arielle turned to Rube and asked, “I have asked you to spread the news about Mrs. Southall’s death. What are the villagers’ reactions upon hearing that?”
“Initially, only thirty percent of the villagers had signed the petition. However, after they heard about the news, the number of villagers signing the petition has increased to sixty percent.”
Arielle shook her head. “That’s not enough yet. We need at least eighty percent of villagers to sign it.”
“Then, what should we do now? Should I disguise as a businessman to persuade them again?”
“No need for that.” Arielle narrowed her eyes. “Henrick hasn’t held a funeral for Mrs. Southall in
Jadeborough. Based on his personality, he’ll always try to make himself look like a filial son. Moreover, he’s feeling little guilty toward Mrs. Southall, so he’ll definitely hold a grand funeral for her when he’s back. I want you to add fuel to the fire when the time comes.”
“Understood.”
“Also, I’m following you to the village tomorrow. Please bring Teddy along too. I need him to help me with something.”
“All right!”
Arielle could not sleep that night. When she woke up, she noticed that Vinson was smoking on the bench in front of the hotel.
She got off the bed and walked toward him. As soon as Vinson saw her, he stubbed out the cigarette in his hand.
Then, he waved his hand to get rid of the smoke. “What’s wrong? You can’t sleep?” His tone was gentle.
Arielle sat down beside him and sighed. “I’m not sure whether I understand Henrick enough. I’m worried that he won’t hold a funeral…”
“Don’t you still have Teddy? He is part of your backup plan, isn’t he?”
Arielle chuckled softly. “It seems like I can never hide anything from you, huh? But in fact, I don’t really want to let Teddy join. He might get injured in my plan.”
“You can ask for his opinion tomorrow. If that doesn’t work out, we can think of other solutions. Don’t worry. There must be a way.”
“Okay.” Arielle nodded. They then continued to chat for a while longer.
Soon, both of them gradually felt sleepy.
Arielle rubbed her eyes. “I’ll go to bed now. Don’t stay up too late.”
“Okay.” Vinson responded as he watched Arielle leave. After that, he opened his laptop and started doing his work.
There were a lot of properties under Nightshire Group. Besides, Vinson was a perfectionist. He preferred doing most of his work on his own.
Finally, Vinson headed back to the bedroom at the first crack of morning sun.
The next day, Rube acted according to the plan by disguising himself as a businessman.
He passed by Teddy’s house when he was on his way to the village.
Coincidentally, Teddy had just come back from gathering coals.
“Rube!” A bright smile appeared on his dirty face the moment he saw Rube.
